God rewards those who work hard: Awakening Daily Practice Settlement

"Where have you been these days?"

"Who can prove your statement?"

"Since you are Duan Changhou's disciple, why don't you know how to make pills?"

……

The black-faced elder had a bad breath as soon as he opened his mouth.

Pei Daoye held his breath.

Facing the upright gazes of several Jindan Realm elders, he sneered in his heart: "What do you mean, elder? Instead of checking who approached my master today, you directly questioned a person who was in seclusion outside? You suspect that I want to harm my master, so you might as well kill me now! Kill me, a little disciple who is fighting against the Immortal Alliance for the dignity of the mountain gate!"

"You!!! How dare you!!!"

The black-faced elder suddenly shouted angrily.

The aura that erupted from him overwhelmingly enveloped Pei Daoye.

Pei Daoye did not choose to be submissive.

He is very clear.

After Duan Changhou fell, at least his apparent backing was gone.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to move forward from now on.

So you have to show your value.

Immediately!

The sword intent in his body instantly broke out.

The air vibrates!

The sharp blades surged hysterically in front of Pei Daoye.

At this moment, his voice was as sharp as his sword intent: "I don't know how I have offended the elder, but I have a clear conscience! If you have the guts, kill me now!"

"presumptuous!!!"

The black-faced elder suddenly felt angry as if his dignity as a superior had been challenged.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded slowly: "You, what are you doing?"

Just a few words floated out.

The pressure released by the black-faced elder was broken in an instant, and the sword intent released by Pei Daoye also disappeared.

"I met the dean."

"I met the dean."

When the elders in the main hall of the Censorate saw Mo Changqing appear, they immediately bowed and clasped their hands.

As soon as Mo Changqing arrived, the atmosphere at the scene immediately changed.

The black-faced elder couldn't say anything else. He moved his eyes away from Pei Daoye's face stiffly. When they fell on Mo Changqing, he quickly moved away and also bowed: "Greetings, Dean Mo."

"I met the dean."

Pei Daoye silently put away his sword and then saluted.

Mo Changqing had no expression on his face. He just looked at the black-faced elder and repeated, "I'm asking you, what are you doing?"

Several people's expressions changed slightly.

The black-faced elder was silent for a while and then said, "Elder Duan from Jinyuan Peak was injured this morning. We are waiting to ask him some questions."

"So this is the legendary interrogation question. I was regarded as a suspect right after I came out of retreat. People who don't know would think that the elder is blaming me."

Pei Daoye looked over with confusion and an innocent expression.

The black-faced elder immediately looked at him unhappily, wanting to get angry, but because Mo Changqing was here, he had to bow and ask, "The dean suddenly came to visit, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Nothing much. The celestial demons have retreated recently. Do you have nothing to do?" Mo Changqing said lightly.

"It's Elder Duan who was injured for unknown reasons. We are waiting..."

The black-faced elder wanted to say something else.

But after noticing Mo Changqing's eyes, he swallowed the rest of the words: "Since the dean has spoken, we dare not disobey. The main peak has ordered a thorough investigation of this matter..."

"Then go check it out."

Mo Changqing looked over.

The look is extremely oppressive.

The black-faced elder understood what he said. Elder Mo did not intend to make things difficult for Pei, so he lowered his head in anger, making it difficult for people to see his expression, and said with a fist, "Yes."

He said goodbye and left.

Seeing this, the others also retreated.

Mo Changqing walked to the booth in front and put the equipment that had been blown over back in place.

Just as Pei Daoye was bowing to thank him for his help, Mo Changqing had already put the utensils in place and said casually, "Did you go to see your master?"

“I went there, but the people at the main peak didn’t let me in.”

Pei Daoye answered honestly.

"His coma was not caused by the furnace explosion, but because someone took away a wisp of his soul." Mo Changqing's voice came.

Pei Daoye was startled, and suddenly raised his head to look: "Dean, you mean... who did it!"

"As for who did it, I don't know."

Mo Changqing turned around and looked: "Do you have a good relationship as master and disciple?"

"Hmm? What does the Dean mean by that?"

Pei Daoye frowned slightly in confusion.

Mo Changqing did not answer his question, but nodded and said: "Those disciples who had contact with Elder Duan have been arrested and taken back for interrogation, but unfortunately... even after using the soul-searching technique, no useful clues were found."

"Is it the Xuanyin Sect or the Immortal Alliance?" Pei Daoye looked over.

"I'm not surprised that you would guess about the Xuanyin Sect, but I was surprised that you would even suspect the Immortal Alliance."

There was no emotion in Mo Changqing's tone.

Pei Daoye nodded, his tone calming down a lot: "Looking at the developments in the thirteen southern countries, I naturally suspect the Immortal Alliance that is jumping around... If someone wants my master's life, it must be related to vested interests."

Mo Changqing rarely praised him: "You are much smarter than I thought."

Before Pei Daoye could speak, he spoke again: "The elder just now was named Zhu."

"Zhu... Elder?"

The only Elder Zhu in Xuanshan Sect knows is Zhu Hetao... who may be the one to succeed the old sect master and become the number one in Xuanshan Sect in the future.

"He is that person's relative." Mo Changqing said.

But Pei Daoye still didn't understand why the Zhu guy wanted to make things difficult for him.

"The Zhu family controls nearly 30% of the medicinal materials market in Fengguo and Yueguo. Your master is at odds with the Zhu family. I don't know if that person is directly related to the identity of the Zhu family, but what is certain is that after your master falls, the Zhu family will liquidate you."

Mo Changqing said slowly.

"why?"

It was the first time that Pei Daoye knew about such a secret matter.

Mo Changqing looked over, lit the incense, and then slowly said: "Because the Zhu family killed your master's old friend, and your master also killed two direct descendants of the Zhu family... But these are all old stories. The Zhu family didn't mention them originally because your master was given an important position, but now... your brothers and sisters are not even a bit comparable to your master, and you are even more of an alternative existence... a sword cultivator?"

Mo Changqing chuckled rarely, with a strange look on his face.

Pei Daoye was silent, looking at them in confusion: "We didn't do anything, the Zhu family is settling accounts with us... Doesn't the sect care?"

"Manage." Mo Changqing said, "How can we manage things that are within the rules? Who is willing to offend the Zhu family for a few disciples whose values ​​do not match theirs?"

Pei Daoye took a deep breath and looked at Mo Changqing: "The dean suddenly told me this, it can't be to popularize these old grudges to me, right? What do I need to do to avoid this."

Mo Changqing looked over calmly, staring for two or three breaths before looking away and saying, "As long as you help me do one thing, I will personally take care of your master, and the Zhu family will give me this face."

"Dean, aren't you afraid of offending them?"

Pei Daoye didn't quite understand.

Mo Changqing just glanced at him and didn't answer the question: "This matter is very dangerous. Tell me when you have thought it through. I will wait for you for three days."

The main peak competition will start in three days and he needs to be present.

after that.

It's time to start his plan.

"Remember, I will only wait for three days. This matter cannot be disclosed to anyone else."

"Disciple understands." Pei Daoye clasped his fists and bowed, then took his leave.

The room was quiet.

Mo Changqing stood still and asked softly, "What do you think of this boy?"

"He has a clean background, is bold and careful, and is a good candidate. But he is not afraid of power, so will he fail easily?"

The sound in the void only reached Mo Changqing's ears.

Mo Changqing chuckled: "Just passed Yizhe? He was pretending."

"..."

"This kid has been working in the menial yard for so many years. If he had a fragile personality, he would have died many times over."

Perhaps guessing the other party's doubts, Mo Changqing chuckled and said, "He himself had conflicts with the Zhu family, and he also knew that it would not end well if he compromised with the Zhu family at this time. So, he took a gamble in front of me."

"He discovered you? This little guy is indeed interesting. But isn't it too risky to let him carry out the death spy plan? Why not wait until you stabilize your Nascent Soul stage?"

Mo Changqing sighed softly: "You know, I don't have that much time. There is trouble in the Chaos Sea. This is our chance."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Well. There is no way out for you and me."

"Then let's see how much of a surprise this little guy can bring us."

……

After Pei Daoye left the Censorate, he looked in the direction of Jin Yuanfeng and let out a long breath.

"It's true... I can't let anyone step on me in peace for a day."

I originally wanted to return to the mountain gate this time and quietly complete the task assigned by Li Siyi and Shangguan Xiangling in a low-key manner.

Unexpectedly, his cheap master ran into such trouble again.

He killed Zhu Hetao's apprentice.

The suspicion related to this incident itself has been cleared, but there is no guarantee that someone with ulterior motives will bring it up again and try to throw dirty water on him.

If the Zhu family really wants to settle accounts...

Senior Brother Luo Li and Senior Sister Lu will also suffer.

As for the other senior brothers I haven’t met… I’ll just have to wish you the best.

"Three days. Three more days."

Pei Daoye sighed in his heart.

He didn't know what Mo Changqing wanted to do with him.

But it can help this person find himself...

He thought it would not be an easy task.

"Nana, I can't say that I've been pulled around all the time."

He left quietly, delaying the time of an incense stick.

Soon.

Senior Sister Lu sent a message, and the two of them met... Luo Li also came happily. Although his reaction was a little slow, it did not affect his determination to fight against the common enemy.

"I went to check. The disciples who had contact with the master this morning have been arrested. It should be your Inspectorate who did it."

Senior Sister Lu looked over.

Pei Daoye nodded: "I just came back from the Censorate and confirmed the news. The Mountain Gate is also investigating the matter now. You don't have to worry too much."

He did not mention Mo Changqing, and only mentioned the matter briefly.

If before, he was worried that it was the Xuanyin Sect or the Immortal Alliance that took action secretly.

After hearing what Mo Changqing said, his number one suspect now turned out to be someone from the Zhu family.

……

Luo Li obviously hadn't come back to his senses yet: "So... Master's coma is really not a coincidence?"

"How could it be a coincidence!" Senior Sister Lu wanted to find the murderer and make him into a pill.

Luo Li still didn't understand: "But but... Master usually makes pills at the mountain gate. Has he offended anyone? Why would someone want to harm him?"

"What is the purpose of Master refining pills? We are competing with Xuanyin Sect. If Master falls, will we have less elixirs in Xuanshan Sect? If the logistics supply cannot keep up, the front line will be affected as well. This is a series of events."

While Senior Sister Lu was explaining to Luo Li, Pei Daoye was thinking...if something happened to Duan Changhou, it would cause a series of adverse reactions.

How dare those people.

If……

The mastermind behind this is really the Zhu family.

If they do this, wouldn't they be disregarding the interests of Xuanshan Sect?

Why do they dare?
unless……

Their interests have been separated from the interests of Xuanshanmen.

or……

They have changed their tune.

Let out a deep breath.

He suggested that Luo Li and Senior Sister Lu should retreat for a while to sort out their feelings and not worry about their cheap master for the time being.

At present, the mountain gate has intervened.

They were of little help.

"I think what Junior Brother said is very right. Now that Master has fallen, we should not lose our composure."

Luo Li deeply agreed with this.

But Senior Sister Lu wants to take care of Master.

After a discussion among the three, Pei Daoye returned to the cave, seemingly in seclusion.

In fact, he was sensing the dragon corpse in secret.

He didn't expect that the evil energy under Xuanshan Gate was so powerful. It actually accelerated the refining of the dragon corpse. Perhaps before going to carry out Mo Changqing's mission, he could take the dragon corpse away with him.

Another day passed.

Heavy rain fell from the sky, and the rain as big as beans swept across the entire Tianxiang City.

"Boom!"

The roar of lightning and thunder was terrifying.

The sky was pitch black, as if an endless demonic aura was shrouding the city.

And it's times like this.

Pei Daoye quietly went down the mountain.

Because Li Siyi is here.

“I revisited the old place and didn’t expect it to have changed so much.”

Li Siyi was sitting in a wheelchair. He lived on the third floor of the inn. With the window slightly open, he could see the ten-mile-long street.

"A lot of things have happened in the past two years." Pei Daoye said casually.

"I heard about it." Li Siyi was not very concerned about the matter of the closure of the country, but he did mention Mr. Gu a little more, but soon changed the subject: "Were you okay that day?"

"I'm fine. Let me tell you the situation first. The main summit will hold the competition as scheduled in two days. I will need your help then."

Pei Daoye whispered.

Li Siyi nodded in understanding: "Go ahead and do it. Mu Yue is ready and will cover for you at any time."

"Oh, there's one more thing. Something happened to my master Duan Changhou."

After Pei Daoye described Duan Changhou's current situation and specifically pointed out that Duan Changhou had lost his soul, Li Siyi's expression became serious.

"Are you sure that only a small part is lost, not all of it?"

Pei Daoye nodded. Naturally, he didn't dare to believe Mo Changqing's words completely, so he went to Duan Changhou to check.

It was indeed only a small part of the soul that was lost, not even as much as a strand of hair.

Li Siyi narrowed his eyes, and quickly spoke, giving his answer... (End of this chapter)
